Washington correspondence Of the
San Francisco Examiner: There are
among the Senators daughters some
who have been so educated that they
have resources of their own which
would make them contented, if not
happy, anywhere.
This is especially true Of Senator
Edmunds's only daughter, who has
received under the direct supervision
OF both her parents a most substan-
tial education, and has by preference
mingled little in the gay scenes Of
Washington.
She has rarely, If ever, attended a
dancing party, but sometimes goes to
other ainmepts-afternoo teas
and lunches, and occasionally to an
evening reception. She takes great
interest in her fathers pursuits, even
in his law studies.
Another exception 10 those who are
exclusively for excitement and
amusement is Miss Anna Dawes, the
only daughter of Senator Dawes, of
Massachusetts,, who is better known
to readers OF her stories and text
books for schools, which are much
used in New England, than she is to
many people in Washington, especial
ly among those who frequent its gay
social assemblages, in spite Of her
long residence here during many sue
cessive sessions of Congress.
Miss Dawes has never cared to
mingle in society. and, beyond re-
ceiving with her mother on Thurs
days, returning visits and occasion
ally attending a lunch party, goes
through none Of the routine of So
cial duties and pleasures in which
such q number of the ladies OF
Washington, including Congress
mems daughters, take unmiDgled de-
light. She attends the meetings OF
the Washington Literary Society, Of
which she has long been a member,
regularly, and often contributes pa.
pers, which she reads at such times,
and she is Of the greatest assistance
to her father in his work, whether
in gathering material for his speeches
or in arranging his mail and printed
documents, which last must be sent
out to constituents.
She much resembles her father il
face and figure. Her hair, which
she has never had banged, is light
brown in color and she wears il
drawn plainly back from high anc
prominent forehead. Her eyes anG
complexion are light.
A very busy life is led by some oil
these, who rarely take meal at HON,
during the season, except when en-.

But even among these there ar,
some ladies who make il matter o.

in the very hight OF the gay season
will labor to benefit charities.
